My father always said, about competition, that you can buy advantage, but you can't buy respect and admiration. I have the utmost respect and admiration for the guys that win without all the Big Buck equipment and the technical advantage. They fly in the spirit of competition that is only proud of winning on a level playing field.

I'm sorry... but i don't remember that from the old days.... funny thing is... the best I've ever seen Jim fly was at this past Nats, F3J.... when nothing was stuck in his ear.... Please people... since it's allowed in AMA competition... PLEASE use your picolarios.... since AMA allows it... and cuz you guys forget to fly the model while you're intently listening for lift....;-) I'm sorry... but I feel the things should be disallowed in competition... Should we use them in hand launch too? D __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
